There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the sky become a canvas of shifting hues as the sun sinks below the horizon. Watching the sunset over the serene Mediterranean Sea is one of the most reviving things you will ever do, regardless of what time of year you are in the Maltese Islands. The stunning shores of Malta provide endless opportunities to take in the picture-perfect twilight. As a result, we’ve produced a list of Malta’s top six viewing locations, as follows:
Cliffs At Dingli
On Malta’s western coast, close to the community of Dingli, are the Dingli Cliffs. These cliffs are the highest point on the Maltese Islands, rising 253 meters above the water. Awe-inspiring views of the sunset are available while cruising on a boat and watching the cliffs soak up the sun’s vibrant hues, as well as by taking a stroll on the cliffs themselves, where one can take in the breathtaking views of terraced fields, the sparkling sea, and Filfla, a small, uninhabited Maltese island directly across.
Ir-Ri Fomm
Fomm ir-Ri, which in Maltese means “Mouth of the Wind,” is a tiny harbor inside the city limits of Mgarr that is surrounded by snow-white cliffs and pebbled beaches. The bay is one of Malta’s most naturally beautiful and unspoiled regions, making it the ideal place for you to concentrate while admiring the panoramic Malta sunset view over the glistening blue waters. It is advised that you bring a pair of sturdy walking shoes, though, as the region is not accessible by car, and the path leading to this natural wonder is rocky and steep.
G.A.J.N. Tuffie
Gajn Tuffiea, which is located 345 meters south of the Golden Bay, is thought of as a calmer and more picturesque variant of the latter with a red sand beach and breathtaking views. It boasts stunning views from every aspect and a perfect beach position to take in the brilliant light show as the sun sets over the horizon on the edge of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. To get to this beach, you must descend a hill with a 200-step stairway, where you can sit back and unwind while indulging in a delectable meal from the café at the bottom of the staircase.
Sacred Heart Tower
One of Malta’s most captivating sunset-watching sites is Saint Agatha’s Tower, commonly known as the Red Tower or It-Torri L-Ahmar, a magnificent bastioned watchtower located near Melliea. For those who enjoy heights, the great tower’s hilltop location gives stunning views of the setting sun on the neighboring cliffs as well as the tower itself as the sun’s warm light reflects on its dark red exterior.
Popeye Town
This tourist destination was formerly a fantastical set for the 1980 musical performance of “Popeye,” but it has since been transformed into a modest, kid-friendly park. It’s the perfect place for both adults and kids to amuse themselves, where they can take boat rides, jump on water trampolines, sunbathe on a deck, and participate in other fun activities while being entertained by Popeye and his buddies. In addition, guests can join the team for an adrenaline filmmaking experience where they get to be movie stars for the day.
One of the best places to see the sunset on the islands is near Anchor Bay, where Popeye Village is situated. The cliffs and simple structures of the town are bathed in the twilight of the setting sun, allowing spectators to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Blue Grotto
The “Blue Grotto” is a collection of sea caverns that may be found on Malta Island’s southeast coast, directly across the islet of Filfla and not far west of Wied i-urrieq. This is a beautiful location where you can photograph the splendor of Malta’s most enticing caverns and the sun sinking over the horizon.
The many beautiful sea caves located nearby can be explored by booking a sunset boat cruise at dusk or even on a traditional fishing boat tour. One of the top recommendations for things to do in Malta if you want to make your trip magical is to visit this location if you are traveling as a couple or are on your honeymoon.
